Coaching

A leading acting coach in Europe and the U.K., Giles Foreman specializes in working with experienced actors who are wrestling with complex roles and high-pressure situations.

Our GFCA movement coaches work with actors to create transformative physical characterizations and choreograph complex movement sequences, as in the Emmy-winning Netflix show The Empress.

The Empress

Daniel Sharman (The Medicis)

A specialist in the ‘Movement Psychology’ work of Yat Malmgren, Giles teaches film acting techniques that create visual interest for the camera. He will guide you in peeling apart a character's layers and tempos in order to ensure a memorable transformation that is grounded in realism.

Giles was recently awarded the Swiss Film Academy's award for Best Film-Acting Coach.

In addition to on-set coaching, Giles has coached at many institutions, including the Drama Centre, London; Deutsche Schauspiel Akademie, Berlin; The Forum for Filmschauspiel, Berlin; Creative Education, The City Lit; NODA; Stage Center – Jerusalem, the Pula International Festival of Theatre, Croatia; the International Festival of Making Theater, Athens; Trixter and Eicar in Paris; FOCAL in Switzerland; GFCA in Luxembourg; at the Centro del Actor in Madrid; First Take Schauspielschule in Koln, and Munich’s Acting Atelier.

The GFCA partners with leading British and European Casting Directors to offer specialized Casting Workshops in a variety of European locations.

Giles has introduced the work of Yat to a new generation of actors in Zurich, Berlin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Rome and now the U.S.
